Dave, The change was made in the current version (or maybe the one before), but it only affects the Event fields specified at the top, and not the Notes, The point of this was that at some time in history the double chevron coding used to be displayed in those fields but was dropped. It has now been restored. Which ever way these specified fields work it makes no difference to the final output (ie reports etc.) but does allows web developers to see what they have done. Although it is not a facility which I use, meaning I do not format these fields, I can see the value of it being displayed for those who do.
